The more vxASTRO a user controls, the greater their say in ASTRO-based governance processes. The amount of vxASTRO a user has will decrease linearly over the length of the selected lockup period, such that at the end of the lockup period the user has 0 vxASTRO (see Figure 4). At any given point in time, a user will be able to extend their lockup for up to the maximum of 2 years from the date they initially locked their xASTRO. Keep in mind that as a userβs vxASTRO allotment declines, they will still hold the underlying xASTRO so they can continue to collect fees and participate in governance (albeit at a reduced rate vs. locking xASTRO for vxASTRO).
